It’s happening. Loyola’s men’s basketball team is in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA March Madness tournament for the first time in 33 years after defeating the University of Tennessee Volunteers March 17. Students have been taking over the Damen Student Center, Bar 63 (6341 N. Broadway St.) and Bulldog’s Ale House (6606 N. Sheridan Rd.) to watch the games for the last week, cultivating a vibrant community of Loyola students, faculty and alumni that’s something to be cherished.
However, because so many people are flocking to these locations, they can get a little crammed.
